Profile:
Wisden described Ted Arnold in his obituary as "an all round cricketer of
sterling
merit". He was three times part of England teams that
won Test series, notably that of Warner's 1903-4 Ashes tour. His
debut on that tour was impressive - he removed the illustrious opening
pair of Duff and Trumper with 9 on the board, and played an
important role in England's win in the crucial Fourth Test. His four
first innings wickets, and second innings dismissal of Trumper more
than compensated for his pair of ducks.
More than any other player, Arnold was responsible for the elevation of
Worcestershire to first-class status. His all-round ability (18
first-class centuries, and close to 1000 county wickets) enabled his
adopted county to take on any opponent.
Arnold bowled at medium pace or faster, varying his pace well, and
moving the ball off the wicket. He used all his considerable height
with an upright delivery, developing lift, particularly on
rain-affected wickets where his bowling was particularly effective. He was
one of the early exponents of swing bowling, following the example of
Hirst, with an excellent away-swinger. He had a solid defence, and a
range of powerful strokes, although his batting was not seen at its
best in Tests. He usually fielded in the slips, where he had a safe
pair of hands (DL, 2000).
